Your Current Must Watch Tv ?

[Woodbutcher 1,982]

Stick with it ... 

I'm just starting on Season Five of the brilliant  "Billions" too ... 

Back to work on Monday so one last weekend binge ... 

[Soulman58 844]

Watching "Save Me Too" (season 2) , but so far not as impressed as "Save Me".

just watched the first episode 

say off to a good start, I can see why they are talking about the fight scenes 

need to watch a couple more times before fully convinced though 

 

I thought I'd give GOL a look. In short, episodes 1 to 5 were OK but not that special, fight scenes, general blood & gore etc probably a bit OTT, and not essential IMO. But stick with them to get the plot, charters built etc.  Now i don't know if there was a change of writers & producers for 6 to 9, but they're a must watch - more twists & turns than 'twisty-turny thing' and what a great ending.

one criticism would be Sean's character (and acting) could have been far more Ronnie Kray i.e. menacing, psychotic. And maybe over all,  less Guy Ritchie, and more Layer Cake please.

Always know that Trevor Mc'doughnut was a wrung un!

[Woodbutcher 1,982]

Just this minute finished GOL , after the first five minutes it was all downhill to be frank ... 

Take away the overload of gore and never-empying automatic weapons you're left with a clumsy disjointed mess .

Ended up on the FFW button for the last three episodes just to make the painful journey as short and swift as possible.

End Verdict .... Avoid.

Apologies if this has already been posted, available on I player, The Jazz Ambassadors, as the blurb says, "how African American jazz musicians helped counter negative propaganda about racism". I found it very interesting.

Anyone watched Cardinal?

We caught the last series which was pretty good so gave it a shot with series 4.

Really enjoyed it apart from I think the video editor forgot his glasses. The bad guy left what was supposed to be a Peregrine Falcon feather at every crime scene but the bird must have been the size of an ostrich.  In one scene the bad guy shot someone and a minute later the gun grew a silencer. and in the final scene where, again, the bad guy, was firing a hunting rifle very proficiently, got off a half dozen rounds with his bolt action rifle complete with scope but the rifle was missing one important piece.......the clip

I`m one who notices these details and it really annoys the wife when i`m pointing it out.

Watched this 8 part series on Netflix this week. 

Really interesting (and quite shocking) to see what went on behind the scenes. 

The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann | Netflix 

[Fish Fingers 182]

Had recorded this and watched it last night. 

Fantastic documentary! Started off good, but the 2nd half was just fascinating. 

Spoiler alert: don't read the full article if you are going to watch it.

I was aware of 'changin Times' track but didn't know who it was by. 

One of those rare programmes, which I will remember for a long time. 

Available to watch on iplayer

Currently going back to my youth and working through all seasons of Hill Street Blues on All4

Friday night BBC 2 9pm Wild Pembrokeshire.  This will be one of the highlights of the TV year for me  it will also give people who have never been to Pembrokeshire a chance to see the county that keeps me returning year after year and the place that I want to retire to.

Love going to Newquay and Dolphin watching from the lovely little harbour wall. Its well worth the hours drive up from near Tenby 

 

 

[Soulfusion 319]

Yep will probably spend some time in Newquay but also Llangrannog, Aberporth, Mwnt and will, no doubt try to sneak into Pembroke to visit Newport but we digress.....

Anybody watching The Luminaries? Plot is bonkers but there is little new drama on terrestrial TV at moment.

Enjoyed The Other One and After Life series 2 recently.

Watched the first 20 minutes or so. Fantastic cinematography and rich in beautiful imagery. Recording the rest so something to look forward to.

Jaco. Stunning photography but left me disappointed,  No Otters from Bosherston,  Red Squirrels on Caldey Island   Peregrine falcons or Short eared owls that breed on skomer Island with the puffins . Red Kite   the national bird of Wales- nothing

Shame about that Steve. An opportunity lost by the sounds of it. I’m a complete novice when it comes to knowledge about the wildlife you mention so I guess I won’t notice their absence.

I think that's what the producers, editors will be thinking,  the same way  as yourself,  if people don't know they won't miss it. 

I really was expecting a similar type of thing to wild Yorkshire,  wild Wales  wild Scotland etc where a single programme was dedicated to a season at a time.

NETFLIX

For those who like sci-fi "The Dark" series 3 has started.

And for comedy "Norsemen" series 3 starts 22 July.

Elsewhere on Sky "Penny Dreadful - City of Angels" worth watching if you're into fantasy. Set in 1938 mixes Chicanos, Nazis and the supernatural in LA.

anyone watching BBC's Roadkill ?

just caught the first one last night, enjoyed it myself and looking forward to the rest

[Okehsoul1952 53]

Thoroughly enjoyed it.....just hope the script continues to intrigue us. You just know its gonna get a lot worse for Hugh Laurie....i guess the detail is in the title! Anyone notice the imperfection to the Prime Minister's right arm.....?

the new new one yep? any good?

I lost it towards the end of the first series, never returned,

[Mike 5,498]

a current must watch is current Danish show DNA showing on BBC4

if you enjoyed the likes of The Killing and The Bridge then I'd say it maybe worth a walk over to BBCs  iplayer  for you

Episode 3 showing on Saturday

 

[Daved 867]

Roadkill on BBC1 is very good.

I'm really enjoying Criminal on Netflix too. Some great acting and it's very well produced. Each episode has a completely different story.

[Winsford Soul 14,478]

Watched this last night

Final ascent.  Hamish. Macinnes.  

Anyone with the slightest bit of interest of the great outdoors can't be failed to be impressed with this guy. A true legend.  Who singularly is basically responsible for all of the following. Mountain rescue,  Search and rescue sniffer dogs,  Stretchers used by rescue teams including helicopter crews,  one piece ice picks/ axes. Simply awesome programme

Has anyone mentioned Joy of Painting -Bob Ross? ( landscapes)- 7.30pm pretty much every other night for 30 mins.

seriously, its style is a mix of laidback presenting sprinkled with a 1970's Open University production, but it's so watchable, and Bob is funny without trying to be.

[Okehsoul1952 53]

He has an engaging personality and is a likeable chap. His paintings are extremely good....but once you've seen him paint half a dozen or so, you have a fair idea of what's coming next, with regard to his picture composition. Found it quite boring after a while! 

[Chalky 15,329]

The Queens Gambit on Netflix, absolutely fantastic.  Binged it all last weekend. 

[Girdwoodinc 479]

Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb on Netflix is worth a watch for anyone interested in archaeology or Egyptology  

[Woodbutcher 1,982]

You beat me to it mate. Was just going to post it 

[Daved 867]

I saw The Black Stuff too - brilliant tv. The tv series was even better.

I've started to watch the new series of The Crown too which continues to be excellent. One episode covers the Michael Fagan incident and how a lot of young people were struggling in the early 80s and were totally disaffected with Thatcher's Britain. 

[Rick Scott 1,182]

Well Something That Has Been Getting Me Through All Of Whats Going On Is 'Crossing Swords' Which You Can Catch On ITV2 Sunday Mornings 1:25 AM 2 Episodes Back To Back (was originally on Monday Nites At 10PM) Adult Comedy And It Is Lots Of Fun, if you can't record to watch at a more convenient time it is available to stream , here is a taster of what to expect Apologies If This program Has Been Mentioned already

Another thumbs up for The Serpent. 

Whole series is on BBC iplayer. Made me want to find a book about it. 

My favourite TV programme of the last few years has been 'Gone Fishing' with Whitehouse and Mortimer. Bought all 3 series on DVD. 

[Winsford Soul 14,478]

Pembrokeshire murders.  Mon Tues and Wed this week. Based on a true story. 

Currently waiting on delivery of the book. The Pembrokeshire murders. Catching the bullseye killer 

Particularly enjoyable for me because I can relate to the area it was filmed.
